". . . the more you focus on words that uplift you, the more you embody the ideas contained in those words." Oprah
"Writers need to be gobbling up everything that comes our way--reading a book on science, a line of poetry, a newspaper story, a picture in a museum, a move by a hockey player, a pattern of music, a comment overheard in an elevator, the look of a face seen from a bus window, reading our world in such a way that our work is fed by connections from the world, so that the work we do is in context. If it is fed by the world, it may, if we are effective, return to feed the world." Don Murray
"Writing and thinking and learning are the same process." William Zinsser
